Waste is an inevitable result of human consumption. In recent
years, both municipal and rural waste management are challenged by
the sheer volume of waste that is still rapidly growing. The waste
disposal system directly affects the hygiene, health, and
well-being of our lives. Based on international experiences, no
matter how advanced the incineration, landfill, or composting
technologies would be, it is crucial to manage the waste generation
and recycling. Our guest today is CHEN Liwen, an environmental
practitioner from China. After studying abroad, she returned to
China and started her waste management project in Chinese villages,
where she helped to build the sustainable waste management systems.
In today’s podcast, Liwen will share her stories and insights based
on her experience from the Nanyu village, Hebei Province of China.
If you are interested in Liwen’s projects, please subscribe to her
Wechat channel “东西异同” (in Chinese). Here is another report on
Liwen’s project by CCTV (in Chinese).
